well lets be honest here if you believe that we are the only living thing out there in the vast coldness of space then. i think you need a head check.

life on other planets is a defo.

Poor Robert Gibbs, used as the sloth to take all the weight form the public, especially when a year or two ago Obama was supposed to be on a flight with all the media invited and when they close the planes door, no site of Obama! Had to take all the medias crap!.

What about Saturn's moon Titan? It has ice, water, and weather patterns almost like ours. Although it is extremely colder there scientist are almost certain there is microbial life or possibly something more. The reason I say microbial life so confident is that we have found microbes on the moon, mars, comet dust, etc.

It's getting well known that life can exist just about anywhere given the right few chances. I mean come on, mosquitoes can survive in the vacuum of space.

So, scientist find water on a planet like Earth, odds are there is "some" form of life there.

That doesn't count dude. Titan is in our solar system. Sheesh.

I hope my sarcasm radar is correct, because if not then...lol

Yes that was sarcasm but of course the whole point of interest in the original topic header was that a planet in another solar system was being evaluated. This is a new area of interest which seems a lot more exciting than a moon of Saturn.

Good for us I guess. Now we can say we weren't created in God's image, But the Universe itself was.

Odds of an astronomer making statistics up without any verifiable evidence: 100 Percent! I mean, really, the star system is 20 light years away from Earth. We haven't found life on the Moon, Mars, or any other heavenly body. You can't go around making these claims without proof, or at least a shred of evidence. Just because there's an Arby's in town doesn't mean people are guaranteed to eat there. The parking lot will be empty 100 percent of the time. That statement is backed by actual observation!

wow!!

Has anyone ever thought that the reason other civilizations dont bother with us is because of the way we are.
Humans are on what you would call a "galactic" time out. in the past humans were probobly more advanced in technology but didnt play well with others. After bieng exiled from maybe another planet from what i can say was maybe a war the survivors made it out to earth and started over again. This would explain why "god" in religious books always seemed to try to kill off populations or take the advancing ones and keep them from going any further. No other species was to make contact provide info or help in any way. When we started the nuclear tests they said "ohh crap" they are starting again. Recent ufo sightings suggest that they know what we are capable of doing and to avoid another repeat they know that some species have been here on earth and they have two options kill all of us or if we can play nice get out of time out. This would explain why god had to use a nuke to blow up sodom and gammora or mojenhadaro in india that had vitrified glass and radiation.

Wow, the conspiracies just fly out of this story, no? Let's reel it in a little, nutters.

Anyway, while scientists need empirical evidence to announce definitive findings on any subject matter, I find it amusing that they act surprised that life might exist elsewhere, as though this stupid rock we're on has the only chemical makeup that could support life.

I'm no scientist, but I'd bet real money that life in the universe is the rule rather than the exception. If conditions are favorable, life will exist. I think this dude is right on the money.

He is compleatly off his rocker and not on any money. What most are missing here is that he is saying there is a 100% chance of life. As mentioned by somone else in this thread that's like saying "definately maybe". It's like saying there is a 100% chance that lightning will strike me dead at 3:33 Sept. 7, 2033. Yeah, there is a 100% chance that it will happen but the probability is right next to zero.

So, he would be making a correct statement that there is a 100% chance of life on this planet if it wasn't for the fact that there is a 100% chance that the planet doesn't exist at all. (See my post a few up from this one.) So if the planet may not even exist then his statment is not correct. He's just a compleate doink and should never work in any scientific field ever again. I say we burn him at the stake after we sterilize his children.
